Eating grilled lamb under the cherry trees? The incongruous aesthetics of a Hokkaido-style picnic

28 Jul 2025

In the center of Sapporo, a 1.5-kilometer green ribbon runs across the city from north to south, gently separating the commercial district with high-rise buildings from the hustle and bustle of the underground streets - this is Odori Park. There is no Zen here like the Kyoto courtyard, but it is famous for its "unconventional" mixed aesthetics: the pink and white petals of the cherry blossom season fall on the Genghis Khan barbecue pot, the neon lights of the Sapporo TV Tower are reflected in the foam of the beer square, and the ice sculptures of the winter snow festival are next to the citizens' grilled corn stalls. This seemingly incongruous collision hides the life philosophy of Hokkaido people: they do not pursue "perfect matching", but only care about "happiness in the present moment".
